Very nice hike made in bivouac in mid-July with the lago Verde still very much in ice.
The distances seem underestimated, especially on the second day
At Alpe Crossena, Giovanni Bertone gave us permission to pitch our tent next to his house and he served us a dinner that I had rarely eaten in a refuge. We had an extremely pleasant time with him (we were his only guests that evening).
On the other hand, he doesn't seem to be on site all the time, so you need to book well in advance and make sure he's there.

Superb hike, a very big plus for the Alpe Crossena refuge run by a charming man and an excellent meal.
A refuge just the way we like them.

2nd stage is entirely in Italy allowing you to walk alongside the many military buildings that protect the nearby border. The long descent before the shelter lets you enjoy the Italian pastures that appear much greener than the French. This is due to the more abundant moisture from this side of the border.
